THUNDER and lightening in Los Angeles!

Holy cow! Got roused from my sleep by thunder that shook the house! And there was lightening followed by massive down pours...one of them must have had hail too, as it was pounding on the bedroom window.

Sheesh.

The noise woke me too.

I am very happy to hear it raining.



Good Morning!

especially when thunder and lightning are so rare. The sustained rumblers, as I call them, are pretty common where I am but they still can sneak up on you in the wee hours of the morning.

Damn, I love thunder. I have triple pane windows in my apt., and I sleep with earplugs. I live on a busy street!

The bright flash immediately followed by the boom also set off the car alarms.

I haven't heard that in 10 years.

this is highly unusual and, I hope, welcomed.

Lived there as a teen, and glad to be out.
